Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

Created by [[Mitchell Hashimoto]], founder of [[Hashicorp]].

Written in [[ZigLang]]

## Zero Configuration Philosophy

> Ghostty is designed to work out of the box with no configuration for most users. Ghostty has sensible defaults, embeds a default font (JetBrains Mono), has built-in nerd fonts, and more. We are constantly challenging ourself as a project to eliminate any _necessary configuration_ to use Ghostty.

There's also a [graphical configuration tool](https://ghostty.zerebos.com/settings/application) -- runs in the browser, you can import / export config.
## Themes
Running the following in a ghostty terminal gives you a browseable list of thems:

```sh
ghostty +list-themes
```
